ITPEC FE Subject A April 2024 Question 26
ITPEC FE Subject A April 2024 — Question 26 of 60
netstat — a network utility that displays detailed TCP connection information.
netstat shows active TCP/UDP connections, listening ports, and connection states (ESTABLISHED, LISTENING, TIME_WAIT, etc.).
Why not others:
- (a) arp — displays the IP-to-MAC address mapping table (ARP cache), not TCP connections
- (b) ipconfig — shows network interface configuration (IP address, subnet mask, gateway)
- (d) ping — tests host reachability using ICMP echo requests, unrelated to TCP connection details
Key rule: netstat = "what TCP connections does this host have right now?"
